The decision inside it

The forecast uses real pace, not the plan

If the first three steps took 40% longer than planned, the rest probably will too. The finish time scales the remaining plan by the pace so far, and says how many steps it's based on, instead of repeating an estimate that is already wrong.

When to use it

Use Plan vs Actual to show how an agent's run is going against its own plan, with a finish time based on real pace. For the plan alone use Task Plan; for one run's live status use Agent Run Status.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Plan vs Actual for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/plan-vs-actual
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/plan-vs-actual.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Pro components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/run-progress.tsx
import { PlanVsActual, type PlanStep } from "@/components/ui/plan-vs-actual";

export function RunProgress({ steps }: { steps: PlanStep[] }) {
  return <PlanVsActual title="Migrate billing to v2" icon={<img src="/logos/claude.svg" alt="" />} steps={steps} lateAfter={0.25} />;
}

States

All of them are drawn by the component. None is left for you to design.

  • On pace
  • Running late
  • Over budget
  • Finished
  • Stopped
  • Not started

Accessibility

  • Keyboard reachable throughout, in visual order
  • Focus trapped in overlays, Escape closes them
  • Focus returns to whatever opened it
  • Live regions announce what changed, not that something did
  • Honours prefers-reduced-motion

Responsive behavior

  • Sizes to its container, not the viewport
  • Usable from 320px up
  • Pointer-based interaction, so trackpad and touch both work
  • No hover-only affordances
